I just purchased a 2006 Kia Rio 2 days ago. It is a 5 speed. Tonight, after filling up with gas, it wouldn't start. I had to pump the gas pedal to start it. It took a few revs to keep it running, but ran fine after that. I drove it home, turned it off for a few minutes and tried starting it again and it started like a dream every time. Is this a common problem for this car or do I need to take it to the shop?
